I’m scared. During high school, I learned about the law of conservation of matter. A family member just lost 20 pounds.
I love to get my Christmas decorations out and I hate to put them away.

Amazon, first you insist that I copy some scrambled letters before I’m permitted to sign into my account. After I sign in with my password, you make me retrieve a verification code from my email account and you tell me in the email that someone who knows my password has tried to sign in - no kidding. It’s me. Once I give you the verification code, you let me sign in, but when I try to order a gift card you won’t process the payment until I re-enter the entire card number and not just the PIN that other retailers request. I enter the card number and you seem to accept it, only to email me that there appears to be fraudulent activity on my account so you’ve canceled the GC order. I also had to create a new password, again. At this point, I’ll only order from Amazon if I can’t find any reasonable alternative and then only for things we need and not just want.

Is it rude to respond to a post with “TL:DR”? Asking for a friend.

Dear Safeway grocery store - I like your app, don’t miss clipping coupons. But for goodness sake, could you try not to have signs about the deals (with valid date) for items not flagged in your system? I am tired of taking sign photos to show the cashier.

Gonna give you grace because you have never had a filter in the best of times…but…NO, waiting for him to call with updates was NOT “excruciating”. Certainly not an excuse for calling us so often your son had to turn off his phone because the cardiologist had arrived in the ER. Waiting for a doctor , now that’s “excruciating”.
Working on some family geneology research the last couple of months. Observations:
-I don’t know why so many folks are vehement that we continue to teach cursive handwriting so youngsters can read historical documents. The immigration and census taker workers from the mid 1800s had astonishly beautiful handwriting, yet there is very little of it I can confidently read. I am grateful someone else has converted many of the documents to text (making it easier to verify the originals).
-The well honed handwriting skill of vital records clerks was completely offset by their lack of attention to spelling and age details.
-I have a new fantasy for my wish list: to travel back in time and slap the @#$% out of any irish parent who named their child some variation of John, Patrick, Michael, James or Catherine, Mary, Margaret and Bridget. Really?

You’d think after 37 years I’d be used to your meltdowns on major holidays, but I’m not. It’s really getting old. Could you hold off a few days so I can enjoy the day?

I’ve watched several Twilight Zone episodes today that are amazingly prescient. It’s unnerving.

My husband and I were discussing what we miss most from our old town (we moved end of October). His list is food places he really liked (both restaurants and store). My list is people I used to see regularly. I guess we have different priorities?

Do young people proofread what they send out?
I hate being a bad guy but it’s things I need to pay for and the amounts differ. Among other things.
I’m not that picky. But dates, times, phone numbers and the amount I need to pay should be correct. And if you want me to Venmo you, a Venmo link would be great.
I’m not a great writer either so I’m being kind about the grammatical errors.

For the love of all that is holy, you’ve been trying to sell this gray sweatshirt on FB Marketplace for 5 years. NOBODY WANTS TO BUY IT!

I am not a conspiracy theory kind of person, but … the advent of online sports betting with ties to NCAA and NFL have made me seriously question why certain calls are/are not being made and why broadcasters are falling all over themselves about certain schools and players during the games. I honestly think that there is a script to much of what I’ve seen. It takes the fun out of the game for me.

Winter Classic shutout (I know it was the luck of my Tanev WC sweater that did it). Now on to the Sugar Bowl and a UW win.

I’m so tired of politicians doing the equivalent of touchdown posturing when they manage to get what they want … even though they probably had far less to do with the outcome than they take credit for having.
